As a seasoned film critic with decades of experience under my belt, I find myself in agreement with Brian Cox‘s sentiments regarding the current state of cinema. Having witnessed the golden age of filmmaking firsthand, it is indeed disheartening to see the industry being dominated by franchises like Marvel and DC.
During an appearance at the Edinburgh International Film Festival on Saturday, acclaimed movie actor Brian Cox, known for his role in HBO’s “Succession,” expressed concern about the current state of cinema, criticizing big-budget film franchises such as Marvel and DC for contributing to its decline.
“Cox remarked when asked about the current state of popular film and TV that television has essentially taken over what cinema used to do. He believes that cinema is struggling due to factors like the dominance of franchises such as Marvel and DC, which have created a grandiose atmosphere. He further suggests that cinema might be on the verge of collapse because it’s losing its original essence.”
In his discussion, Cox referred to the recent blockbuster hit “Deadpool and Wolverine” in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as an illustration. He pointed out that while superhero films are generating significant revenue, acting in multiple comic book adaptations can lead to a sense of “watering down” or loss of depth from the actor’s point of view due to the high volume of releases.
Essentially, Cox stated that it seems like some actors are now taking advantage of the opportunity to engage in such activities, given Hugh Jackman’s potential for more, along with Ryan Reynolds. When they choose this path, it often results in box office success and significant financial gain. It’s hard to criticize their choice.
Back in 2003, I found myself cast in the hit sequel “X2: X-Men United,” when the X-Men saga was under the watch of 20th Century Fox. I stepped into the shoes of William Stryker, a power-hungry military scientist with an intriguing twist – it was I who gave Logan his adamantium skeleton and essentially brought Wolverine to life.
Tom Cox playfully admitted that he sometimes forgets he’s the one responsible for crafting Wolverine in the Marvel Cinematic Universe lore. He quipped, “Deadpool bumping into…Wolverine, whom I created but can’t seem to remember. Oh, by the way,” he continued, “When those movies are playing, there’s always a part of me [as Stryker] and they never give me a dime.”
The Hollywood Reporter was the first to report Cox’s conversation.
